Club career

edit

Born in Figueira da Foz, Coimbra District, Daniel joined U.D. Leiria's youth system in 2009. On 14 May 2011, aged 16 years, 10 months and 3 days, he became the second youngest player to ever appear as a professional for the club, featuring eight minutes in a 3–3 Primeira Liga away draw against S.L. Benfica, whom he also represented for two years as a youth.[2]

Daniel spent the second half of the 2012–13 season on loan at G.D. Tourizense, in the third division.[3] Subsequently, he signed with C.S. Marítimo's reserves who competed in the Segunda Liga.[4]

Daniel only played one competitive match with the first team during his spell at the Estádio do Marítimo, when he came on as a last-minute substitute in the 3–1 home win over F.C. Paços de Ferreira on 15 January 2017.[5] He alternated between divisions two and three after leaving in the summer of 2018, representing in quick succession Leiria,[6] C.D. Fátima, S.C. Beira-Mar[7] and C.D. Mafra.[8]

On 9 July 2021, aged 27, Daniel moved abroad for the first time, agreeing to a two-year contract at Wisła Puławy in the Polish II liga.[9] He returned to Portugal in summer 2022, joining second-tier C.D. Nacional on a deal of the same duration.[10]
